We are inundated with zucchinis. We have four plants and their yield is very high. We are growing three varieties: yellow, pale green and crook neck. I love zucchinis. We eat them raw, as a grated accompaniment to any meal. Cabbage can be replaced with zucchinis for coleslaw too. We eat the new ones, sliced, […]

Happy New Year! On December 27th we went to the snow at Hartz Mountain. Everybody in town was raving about how it was snowing, and we thought that we would go have a look. Afterall, it was our last chance to visit the snow in 2010! Once at the mountain, Elora stayed cosy and warm […]

On Wednesday we drove into Hobart for our last clinic appointment before our baby is born. We got to drive through the snow. It was very pretty! It was nice and warm in the car and I took lots of photos. The roads were clear and the driving conditions were okay, but we went a […]

When we first moved into this house, it was cold, and I complained of being ‘freezing,’ and wrapped myself up in blankets and jumpers (ever the drama queen). After just a few days (maybe 3-4) after moving in, the house became very very warm. The north-facing windows are bathed in sunlight a lot of the […]

It looks as though summer is going to grace us with her presence afterall, with temperatures forecast in the low 20s (and even high 20s) over the next few days! Excellent! We are not, however, fooled by the cooler weather, as the sun here has a certain ‘bite,’ and it is easy to get burnt. […]
